Horror Aficionados discussion

Hi all! Anyone interested in joining a new group I have just started, pop on over:

Shine & Shadow

*Focuses on monthly reads:
-1 'dark' read & 1 'light' read
-Choose which you want to read with your mood. Or read both with us!
-March reads are Ring Shout & Moshi moshi
*Would love members interested in regular monthly group discussions
*The group is just for fun; I intend it to be a place for anyone to hang out!
*At the moment, group is taking nominations for April reads

That's all; have a good one 😅

(view spoiler)[(Wasn't sure which folder to put this in, Mods! Sorry if it is incorrect- was initially going to put it into author promotion, but didn't seem to fit!) (hide spoiler)]

I’ll join 🙂

Thought I would go ahead and drop a message that for April 2021 Shine & Shadow will be reading The Year of the Witching by Alexis Henderson, if anyone wants to join!

Not horror, but will also be reading On Earth We're Briefly Gorgeous by Ocean Vuong for any interested...

No horror this next month, but thought I would share anyway for those interested in other genres 😉:

May 2021 group reads at Shine&Shadow have been decided on!

Dark: Princess Bari by Hwang Sok-yong
Light: Meridian by Alice Walker
World Tour: Lotus by Lijia Zhang
*World Tour read will be a different country every month. May is China.



Come on over if you are interested in reading with us!

For anyone who might be interested 😃 Shine&Shadow will be reading The Route of Ice and Salt by José Luis Zárate as our dark read for June.

A reimagining of Dracula’s voyage to England, filled with Gothic imagery and queer desire.

Also on deck:
Light: The Joy Luck Club by Amy Tan
World Tour: The Death of Vivek Oji by Akwaeke Emezi

Nothing in the realm of horror for July, but for anyone interested in the following books, feel free to pop over to
